Bias in meta-analyses using Hedges’ d
(2018-09-25)
The type of metric and weighting method used in meta-analysis can create bias and alter coverage of confidence intervals when the estimated effect size and its weight are correlated. Here, we investigate
bias associated ...
Baryon spectra and antiparticle-to-particle ratios from the improved AMPT model
(2018-02-02)
The current version of a multi-phase transport (AMPT) model with string melting can reasonably describe the dN/dy yields, pT spectra and anisotropic flows of pions and kaons at low pT in heavy ion collisions at RHIC and ...
Crop rotational diversity increases disease suppressive capacity of soil microbiomes
(2018-05-15)
Microbiomes can aid in the protection of hosts from infection and disease, but the mechanisms underpinning these functions in complex environmental systems remain unresolved. Soils contain microbiomes that influence plant ...
Cutaneous melanoma: From pathogenesis to therapy (Review)
(2018-02-27)
In less than 10 years, melanoma treatment has been
revolutionized with the approval of tyrosine kinase inhibitors
and immune checkpoint inhibitors, which have been shown
to have a significant impact on the prognosis of ...
COMT Inhibition Alters Cue-Evoked Oscillatory Dynamics during Alcohol Drinking in the Rat
(2018-10-12)
Alterations in the corticostriatal system have been implicated in numerous substance use disorders, including
alcohol use disorder (AUD). Adaptations in this neural system are associated with enhanced drug-seeking
behaviors ...
Cryo-electron tomography of periplasmic flagella in Borrelia burgdorferi reveals a distinct cytoplasmic ATPase complex.
(2018-11-09)
Periplasmic flagella are essential for the distinct morphology and motility of spirochetes. A
flagella-specific type III secretion system (fT3SS) composed of a membrane-bound export
apparatus and a cytosolic ATPase complex ...
Comparison of non-invasive to invasive oxygenation ratios for diagnosing acute respiratory distress syndrome following coronary artery bypass graft surgery: a prospective derivation-validation cohort study
(2018-11-27)
Objective: To determine if non-invasive oxygenation indices, namely peripheral capillary oxygen saturation (SpO2)/
fraction of inspired oxygen (Fi
O2) and partial pressure of alveolar oxygen (PAO2)/Fi
O2 may be used as ...
Construction and characterization of a bacterial artificial chromosome library for Gossypium mustelinum
(2018-05-17)
A bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) library for G. mustelinum Miers ex G. Watt (AD4)
was constructed. Intact nuclei from G. mustelinum (AD4) were used to isolate high molecular
weight DNA, which was partially cleaved ...
Dehiscence and embolization of CorMatrix tricuspid valve replacement in the setting of infective endocarditis: a case report
(2018-01-31)
Background:
Due to increased morbidity and mortality, prosthetic valve infective endocarditis (IE) with dehiscence requires urgent intervention. Early identification and therapy may prevent embolization.
Case summary:
A ...
